USA international Christian Pulisic has heaped praise on Jadon Sancho, having played alongside the forward at Borussia Dortmund. Sancho has been with the German outfit for the past three years and during this period, he has emerged as one of the most sought-after youngsters in European football.

In recent months, he has been linked with a return to England and speaking to Sky Sports News, Pulisic admitted that his former teammate has done an amazing job, he told: “It’s one of the big reasons why I was really drawn there when I was very young. I think they (Dortmund) give younger players opportunities and it’s a great club to go and develop. He (Sancho) was given an opportunity, just like I was, at a very high level, and they show you right away that they trust you and they’re going to give an equal opportunity to all the players. He’s done an amazing job since he came in and has obviously shown what abilities he has.”Continue reading →

Former Premier League ace Neville Southall believes Theo Walcott does not look happy with his position at Everton. The England international made the switch to the Toffees from Arsenal in January 2018 and he has since struggled to live up to the expectations. In the current season, he has netted just one goal from 21 league appearances and Southall feels the attacker may need a fresh challenge during the backend of his career.

He told:
“If I were advising Kevin De Bruyne, I’d still say, ‘Stay where you are’.
Sometimes it’s better to know what you’ve got than what you might have and
City’s players have a fantastic club, an unbelievable manager and great
facilities. Players are human beings and you have to be happy where you play
and I see some players today that don’t look happy – sometimes you’re just not
the right person for that club. That’s how I feel when I look at Theo Walcott
at Everton, for instance.”

BT Sport pundits Glenn Hoddle and Martin Keown have heaped praise on Christian Pulisic’s displays for Chelsea this term. The USA international made an uncharacteristic beginning to his debut season with the Blues as he struggled for gametime and there were suggestions that he could be loaned back to Borussia Dortmund in January.

However,
the 21-year-old has managed to answer the critics since the backend of October
and in the past month, he has amassed six goals across all competitions. One of
those came during the 2-2 Champions League draw against Valencia in midweek and
shortly after the game, Hoddle heaped praise on Pulisic and compared his style
of play with Blues hero Eden Hazard, he told: “It’s a great compliment to him
[Pulisic], but he looks very like [Eden] Hazard in the way that he runs with
the ball. Willian on the other side looks really very good. The two midfield
players are impressive.”

BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has said that Christian Pulisic has to prove himself in order to earn a regular run in the Premier League under Frank Lampard. The United States international made a positive beginning to the season where he was handed with a regular starting role but things have become difficult as the campaign has progressed.

In the
past four Premier League matches, Pulisic has been afforded with just 10
minutes of playing time and that has resulted from the fact that Callum
Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount, Pedro and Willian are all ahead of him in the
selection order. Speaking on Radio 5 Live, Sutton said that Lampard does not
have an agenda against the former Borussia Dortmund man but he is certainly not
a favourite with the Blues boss.

Chelsea have started the season in a good shape
under the tutelage of Frank Lampard. The Blues legend has been able to
assemble a youthful team that has shown potentials of developing into a side
that can challenge for titles.

Tammy Abraham has displayed a maturity that belies
his age as he takes advantage of the trust and faith that Lampard has placed in
him. The lanky forward has scored seven goals so far this season nd has largely
relegated Olivier Giroud and MichyBatshuayi to the bench.

Norwich
City manager Daniel Farke has hailed the talents of Christian Pulisic and
believes the attacker has the credentials to become one of the best offensive
players in the world. The USA international signed for the Blues from Borussia
Dortmund in January but he only made the move this summer after he was loaned
back to the German side for the backend of the 2018/19 season.

Pulisic joined the Blues after a couple of games into pre-season and he was impressive for the club with a run of consistent performances. The same has not been replicated at the start of the real campaign with just one assist from three matches but the 20-year-old should find the mojo with more gametime on the playing field. Chelsea are scheduled to face Norwich City on the road this weekend where they will be aiming to secure the first triumph of the new season. The Canaries have a weakness in terms of the defensive play but rest assured, they will offer a strong challenge to the Blues, who are yet to preserve a clean sheet in any competition.

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has admitted that the club are hoping to boost the fanbase in the United States of America with the summer arrival of Christian Pulisic. The west London giants pursued the signature of the attacker from Dortmund during the January transfer window, but he was instantly loaned back to the German club for the rest of the season.

Speaking to The Washington Post, Buck said that there are no surprises that the attacker has a good fanbase among the United States faithful. He added that the club are scheduled to play some matches in the United States during pre-season and they are hoping to garner more support through the tour, he told: “He’s a personable boy. He’s well-liked in this country. So, of course I would expect him when we come here and play some friendly matches, which is what our objective is in the summer of 2020. Then yes, I think he will he will be helpful.”Continue reading →
